/art/ general?

Anyone know of any decent art survey courses that are up on YouTube or whatever? Or any good general intro art books? I started watching a series on Modern Art (realism to abstract expressionism) and that was p. interesting but I like having sequential, chronological knowledge of things, so I'd really appreciate something that gives me that.

Don't know why I waited this long to get into learning about fine art. It's fascinating.

This world is hell and has always been hell. It's our job to acknowledge that and try to bring goodness into the world to combat all the evil around us, but some days such as today I just get overwhelmed by my hatred for humans.

'Extreme' is just a phrase people use for any deviation from their personal ideal of balance.

For a devout Muslim he is not extremely fundamentalistic for example, he's very reasonable in his practice, while you are extremely degenerate by his standards.

impossible. make him have a loveable sidekick.

make it so that they come off as unlikeable at first, but then try to keep the reader interested in what happens to him

>>9052142
This. Give him a singing mongoose and a friendly warthog. Write in a few musical numbers for the sidekicks as well. Then sell the script to Disney and rake in the fat stacks of cash.

You need to read both before anything else

You need to be familiar with the story, but they're not mandatory. I think I read once that Joyce actually read a retelling of them by some English author. I'd say being familiar with English (especially Shakespeare and especially Hamlet) and Irish literary traditions. And even so you won't understand a third of the references without help (I'm assuming you're not very well-read if you haven't read the Odyssey). Try reading it on genius.com or joyceproject.org

Homer, Metamorphoses and the Bible are cannons
Everything else is up to you

The Confucian Anthology is the Eastern Canon
The Bible is the Semitic Canon
Homer is the Ancient Canon
Dante is the European Canon

Only those four, plus Horace. Everything else is up to you.
